Quick answer
Savour's dessert recipes are beginner-friendly, with gram and cup measurements. The easiest are no-bake: strawberry cheesecake jars (20 minutes plus chilling), crispy rice treats and tiramisu. Of the baked treats, fudgy brownies and chocolate chip banana bread are both one-bowl recipes. For the best texture, measure flour by weight and let bakes cool before cutting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I weigh flour instead of using cups?
A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120 g to 160 g depending on how it is scooped. That difference is enough to turn chewy cookies cakey. A kitchen scale gives you the same result every time.
Can I reduce the sugar in dessert recipes?
You can usually cut sugar by up to 25% in brownies and crumble toppings. In cookies, sugar affects spread and chewiness, so reducing it will change the texture.
How do I know when brownies are done?
A toothpick inserted in the centre should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter. They will keep setting as they cool in the pan.
